Living in a student apartment is all fun and games until you are missing home. Even though Philadelphia Square apartments are spacious and comfortable, we have compiled a list of items that will make your IUP apartment even more personalized while still staying organized. These tips will help you make your space a home away from home.

Everyone does it. We use the armrest of a couch or chair as a resting place for food, drinks, phone, and other items. This is a solution to keep important items you need safely in immediate reach and to stay mess free by creating a flat surface.
You may think that houseplants are just for show, but they actually pack many benefits into a tiny pot. Interior plants are proven to reduce toxicity in the air, as well as keep temperatures cool and humidified. Being surrounded by plants in your off-campus housing can also reduce stress, increase productivity and boost creativity.
Having a welcome mat in your entryway not only allows for you and your guests to wipe off shoes before entering, but it also gives an inviting personal touch to the outside of your off-campus apartment.
